You can install a new-ish version using cygwin and run it under
startxwin.  I don't know how well it works, because running under an X
server on Windows is not ideal, and newer versions of evince have a
different GUI that fits well with GNOME but it doesn't look like a
Windows app.

You can also use msys2 (http://www.msys2.org/) and then use pacman to install evince from there. AFAIK this version of evince (installed with msys2) does not need an X server. 

Unfortunately, the few people that used to take care of compiling evince under windows are no longer around. If you or anyone is stepping up to maintain a binary, that would be great. Nowadays, it should be not so difficult to build evince on windows.

I don't know how to build evince under Windows, and I haven't ever
tried.
